The Veteran's erectile dysfunction is granted as service connected, and he is granted TDIU on an extraschedular basis prior to June 25, 2007 due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment prior to June 25, 2007 and granted TDIU on an extraschedular basis for this period.
